ETXfan16 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 The Texans name and uniforms is kind of lazy to me. It's like a team you would create on NCAA football. ย "Let's go with... red, white, and navy.. and maybe throw in a bull or something. That's pretty Texan, right?

DaveTV1 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Geeze the logo for the Renegades looks almost like the Dallas Desperados old logo. ย The Roughnecks should have just went with the old Houston Oilers colors. ย I'm not impressed with L.A.. ย The New York Guardians look like a mix of Patience and Fortitude breeding with Vinzย Clortho the Gatekeeper. ย What does St. Louis have to do with the Air Force ? ย I'm guessing Blythevilleย AFB that closed in 1992 and Scott Air Force Base. ย Seattle Dragons looks like the UAB Blazersย mascot. ย Tampa Bay Vipers reminds me of the Viper at Astroworld : ย ย The D.C.

Champ1000 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Anyone interested. I guess Dallas with Bob stooped might be my team. I would have tried San Antonio and Houston in this rich football state. They ought to play in college venues to generate more interest. I hope it works out.

I thought I read somewhere that the XFL owns all the teams. There's no individual ownership.

Granted, he was pressed into service with the injury/early departure of Sam Bradford, and all he did was rewrite the OU and Big XII record books for career passing.ย But the knock on him was that he was only as effective as the offense itself. Yeah yeah, I know that sounds like some John Madden-esque obviousness, but it's the truth. If our offense was working, nobody was better than Landry. But if we needed him to rise to the occasion and pull us through adversity...ย ย we were scr ewed. Dude was the anti-Baker Mayfield. Quiet, reserved, and congenial...ย and absolute garbage in the clutch.ย ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 The West Virginia kid who chose going in the XFL draft over transferring is a huge development for the league. If they can make this a thing it could survive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like a lucrative opportunity to expand their footprint.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
